Franklin Hts. School, West Franklin IL, 1917 Photo contributed by Matt Underwood Here's Martin Hart in about 1917 at about age 8. He is in the second row from the back, 3rd from the Left. This is in Frankfort Heights School, in what is now West Frankfort. (This may actually be a Sunday School class photo at Frankfort Heights Baptist Church in West Frankfort, which re-named themselves Second Baptist Church West Frankfort, when the cities consolidated in about 1921. Gr-grampa Henry Hart was the Sunday School Superintendent at this church from at least 1915 until around 1921, when he moved his family to the area Northeast of Akin. One Room School House - Akin, Franklin Co IL Abt 1921 Photo contributed by Matt Underwood One room schoolhouse near Akin, Franklin Co IL. The Hart boys - sons of Henry and Lillie (Hedges) Hart. Martin is about 12, standing on the far right. Clarence is about 11, and is 4th from right in the front row. George is about 8, and is 7th from right on the front row. Matt has pulled the 3 boys from the above picture and used a little magic to combine them into a close up here. From the look on each of their faces they don't appear to be taking kindly to going to school. I don't think I'd mess with them at the moment.
